'most importantly use your god given common sense'

more important than the facts and evidence, trust the invisible man in the sky who gave you some sort of super power to reason in your own head outside of what's presented to you.


sickest prosecution.

I'd argue that this is worse because the state, a party that is supposed to be concerned with justice rather than winning a case, is doing this.

Well, I'm not prepared to say that this is a case where the prosecution has the ethical duty to dismiss the charges. Until that point, the prosecution has a job to do.


Of course they do, they rely on lying to the jury to win their case!! how much more unecthical can you be? if he can't tell the jury the truth to get a conviction, what makes him think the guy is guilty? Pontius Pilate had a job to do too.

He has the manslaughter charge in there, so the Jury has that to consider. And the Defense will object if he flat out lies.


He already has flat out lied. No objection. It's a strategic decision whether or not to object to such shit.

I'll be a lot more nervous if I've had to kill a guy to defend myself. I'm pasty fuckin white, if i have to shoot a big burly black teenager in self defense, I'm going to be shitting myself thinking I'm going to end up in prison with all this guy's buddies.

Seems like there's a pretty good case for the defense to appeal, if it comes to that.
There's been a fair share of funny business in this case.

I don't know what you appeal in a jury case. Overturning their rulings is very, very difficult.

Don't forget my drinking game. Every time BDLR mentions "fucking punks" and "assholes" we drink. Not once has he mentioned John Good, although I imagine he will to refute it (somehow). Defense surely will make a chorus line out of John Good, and to each occurrence, we shall drink !!!

The faster way to get drunk is to drink every time the Defense starts talking about reasonable doubt.

Eh - scroll back just a couple of pages and search on my name. It was right at the beginning of closing argument. He started out with the second line out of his mouth. Had something to do with Trayvon is dead, "through no fault of his own". There have been subsequent blatant lies as well.

This whole Jeantel bit feels like it will do more harm than good for the prosecution's case.

Is BDLR offending the jury by going so hard that they should disregard Rachel Jeantel's "colorful personality" ?

Based on all the available evidence, and the state's poorly constructed argument, Zimmerman should walk.

But at the end of the day Zimmerman still technically killed a 17 year old whose only intent that night was to visit his dad. When you step back from the situation (really, really far back) that's just seems 'wrong,' and for whatever reason, people in general have this unreasonable expectation that life is supposed to be 'fair' or 'make sense'.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was found guilty, just disappointed in -- well, the media and society for letting their emotions and desire for 'fairness' and over-rule the the importance of the law.

I don't know why he would use that word. We have planning sessions for closing arguments and we highlight words that are "no-no's" like that.
